Spanish III provides extensive review of the material taught in Spanish II and will then build upon those concepts. Students will continue to explore the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. They will also learn to talk about life in the city, at the beach, and on a camping trip; communicate their wishes, wants, and desires; express events in the future; speculate on possible events; and discuss professions and volunteer work. This year, we will also read selections from newspapers, literature, and the Bible.
Learning Spanish is a skill-based activity much like learning to play a sport or a musical instrument. As a result, this Spanish 3 course will be very interactive. Each class period, students will engage with the instructor and their fellow classmates in games and activities that develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities. In order to fully participate, each student must come to class with a headset microphone.
Each week, homework will be assigned to reinforce the topics covered in Spanish three class. Practice exercises include online exploration and grammar drills, Quizlet flashcards, videos, audio activities, student recordings, scripture memorization, readings, and compositions. Assessments include tests, quizzes, projects, and oral evaluations.

Student R –
Señora Phillips is a lovely teacher. She is patient, and thorough in her lessons. She took time every class to pray for us and ask how we did with the homework. She showed personal interest in each of her students, making sure we were doing well, both in life and in class, making her stand out as a kind and thoughtful teacher. It was always easy to get ahold of her outside of class via email: I had several times throughout the year where I was unable to attend class, and she was understanding and even allowed me to schedule a Spanish oral exam months in advance to fit around my schedule. Overall, Señora Phillips was an amazing teacher and I would highly recommend her classes to anyone who wants to learn Spanish.
